I to experience everything about the smoking, i am on my second miscarry.
I had one shot of the metho on 8/2011 and my levels dropped to zero by 10/2011 but now I'm scared because I'm only spotting and not bleeding regular.

I found out 5 days ago I was preg AFTER having a tubal 4 years ago-they actually cut and curned the ends--but, a positve preg test had surely came up last week- called the doc- they were concerned and had me come in the next day for an ultrasound--no sac found anywhere--sched me for blood over the next 2 days to see if my HCG went up--went back 2 days later to another ultrasound to show she thought there was a sac in my right tube--but still nothing in the uterus--and my HCG went from 3500 to 4200--I guess not enough to support an actual uteran preg--so, in fear of my tube rupturing they presented me with surg or methotrexate injections at the cancer center--we went with the injections in hope of avoiding surgery--I had this procedure yesterday ---started cramping right away and spotting--I am assuming this will be similar to a miscar which i have had several of---not looking forward to it at all and glad i found this forum---today i haven't taken any meds to avoid sleeping all day and i still am light headed and dizzy---a really odd feeling---but, i suppose not as bad as recovering from a surgery---i will update you all with any new info--good or bad--bless you all
I was so happy to find this forum and read everyone's stories in words I can understand. Here is my experience, I had a light spotty period at my regular time accompanied by cramps only severe at times. Thankfully my best friend and boyfried convinced me to go to emerg. I sat in the waiting room for 6 hours with severe cramps and had to get a couple of maxi pads from the nurse as I was bleeding threw one about every hour. When I finally got a bed (in the hall) I started throwing up into a garbage can and was finally administered a shot of Gravol. I was finally seen by a Dr. (9hrs later) and she informed me I was pregnant but it wasn't viable. I am 37 and have had 3 prior misscarriages all for different reasons. I have an rh- blood type and had to recieve a rogam (sp) shot and was told everything from bad luck to quit smoking. They sent me home but told me to return in the morning for an ultrasound. The next day the bleeding was still light and spotty but not as severe the cramps had also subsided quite a bit and was only tender to touch.
My ultrasound revealed and eptomic pregnancy and I was whisked back in to emerg. promptly given a bed and prepped for surgery. My levels were over 4000 the night before and had dropped to under 4000 the following day. I only waited 4 hours to see an OBGYN and he told me vitals were all normal and gave me an internal examine. He also told me there was fluid in my abdomin (????) As the cramping and bleeding was not as severe as the night before he said I had the choice of having the shot or the surgery. I opted for the shot I was immediately concerned at the nurse putting on a mask, gown and double gloves. She was wonderful and very informative and answered all my questions. I was very concerned about the side effect including, nausea,cramping, bleeding, and fainting and them telling me to come back to emeg if I had nausea, cramping and bleeding.
I have to go back on Monday to have my levels checked. I am happy to be home but feel weak and have a few pangs on my right side. I think the weakness is from spending 9 hrs in emerg the night before and not being allowed to have food or drink all day today. When I finally got home I had a banana and a yoghurt had a nap and had and apple and some cheese and crackers. I immediately felt nausea. That's why I went on-line and found this forum and am inspired and feel a bit more informed on what to expect. My second experience at the hopital was way more positive than the first and am instructed and plan to take it easy for the next couple days. I was told to take Advil for pain and have been using a heating pad for the mild cramps. It has only been about 8 hrs since I have had the shot and am going to take each day as it comes. I have great friends and an incredabally supportive boyfriend to get me threw this.
Thank you
